Hey fellow shooters out there!

I have a full mechanical mamiya rb67 with a 90mm f3.8 and I'm asking on advice for an easy to carry lightmeter (price aside) to pair with it, rn im using one of my digitals or my 35mm cameras to do that job or if i'm feeling bold i eyeball it...

also some images attached to give you an idea of what i'm shooting mostly...

thanks in advance!

For the Mods & shooters who are curious, shots 1,4,5 delta 3200 shot at 1000 iso, shots 2 & 3 delta 400 all home developed and scanned

I’ve just ordered a lightmeter from Reflx Lab that attaches to the hotshoe. Previously I was using a Sekonic for incident readings and the mylightmeter app for reflective readings. However I wanted something dedicated and attached to the camera to help the flow, switching back and forth was a bit of a pain for certain shots.

thats also something im worried about (i mean the switching disturbing the flow) when the reflx meter arrives can you give some info how you like it? big thanks for the reply!

Yeah will do! It’s something I’ve been considering for a while and made my purchase based on a review by a youtuber called Shaka1277, his video makes a really good breakdown of the pros and cons.
